Harris II Drives In Two Runs
Michael Harris II delivered a pivotal performance with two RBIs, helping the Atlanta Braves secure a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the National League Division Series. The win levels the best-of-five matchup at one game apiece.
The Braves struck first in the top of the first inning. Dubón reached on an infield single to shortstop, allowing Acuña Jr. to score from second base while Albies advanced to second and Olson moved to third. The lone run gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead that held through the early innings.
The Dodgers answered in the fourth frame when Freeman homered to right field, measuring 375 feet. The blast tied the game at 1-1, shifting momentum back to the home crowd at Dodger Stadium.
Atlanta regained the advantage in the fifth inning. Harris II scored on a wild pitch by Kris Bubic, followed shortly by another run for Harris II on a second wild pitch by the same pitcher. The two-run frame put the Braves ahead 2-1, a lead they would not relinquish despite late pressure from Los Angeles.
